Presidential Candidate Answers Questions in Nationwide
TeleForum
Washington,
DC (December 2, 2015) – This afternoon, presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz
answered questions from business leaders in a nationwide TeleForum. A coalition
of business groups including the National
Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) organized the call for their
members. Cruz discussed a wide variety of topics including tax reform and
regulatory reform.
“We’re
encouraged that all of the major candidates so far have discussed how their
economic policies would help small business.
Senator Cruz today shared his ideas with our members and it was a very
productive exchange,” said NFIB CEO Dan
Danner. “Some of the biggest problems for small business relate directly to
federal tax policy and excessive regulations and we’re glad that Senator Cruz addressed those concerns and explained his positions.”
Cruz
is the third leading presidential contender to accept the invitation to speak
with members of the business coalition composed of Associated General
Contractors, Associated Builders and Contractors, BIPAC, National Association
of Manufacturers, NFIB and the National Retail Federation. Top polling
candidates from both parties have been invited to participate in the
TeleForums.
Members asked questions about the candidate’s plan for
repealing Obamacare and passing alternative health care reform, tort reform,
reining in federal bureaucracies including the Environmental Protection Agency
and National Labor Relations Board, and balancing the federal budget.
